Sick Grandma Brings ‘The Rock’ Cutout To Hospital, And Here’s What He Does When He Finds Out
“This kind of stuff will always be the best part of fame,” Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson captioned an Instagram video posted Monday night. The actor and former wrestler had received an email from a fan asking for a shout-out, but a very special one, and he just couldn’t refuse.
Inside the email was the story of Judy Rosenberg, a 76-year-old grandmother who just entered hospice care with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Though she reportedly has the support of her husband, 5 children, and (drum roll) 17 grandchildren, Judy’s greatest comfort in the world happens to be a life-size, scantily clad cardboard cutout of The Rock, which has accompanied her to her current residence. She is said to be a “potty mouth,” and just wanted her hero to tell her she was sexy.
Johnson happily obliged, and while we don’t have any updates on whether or not Judy has seen the video, we’re sure she’ll be over the moon when she does. “Stay strong Judy, you sexy tiger. We’re all sending you and your family love and light during this time and I’m an extremely grateful man this email reached my eyes,” The Rock further wrote. Say what you will about celebrities, but every now and then, they use their fame to do some serious good.

Share on FacebookDwayne is one of the few celebrities I like. He's not difficult to like, actually. He seems like a sincere and nice person.
FOR THE TIDES, THE SUN, THE SKY sorry I love that song
Load More Replies...Good man! (I'm so happy that he is my son's celebrity hero)proving you can be cool and popular while still being an absolutely decent and loving person. He promotes excellent health too- and the hard work that goes with maintaining your healthy body- he is a fantastic role model
This is awesome. Dwayne Johnson is an amazing guy, and I wish all the best for the grandmother :o)
This is why The Rock is on of the most popular holywoow actor because of his humbleness
I don't really like the characters or the films this guy has to play, but taking the time when so much of his peers are so full of themselves, restores some faith in humanity. Thank you, sir!
/hey Bored Panda..was unable t view video..is there a link to see it somewhere else,,??
I am not surprised that he would do this. I took me nephew to see a WWF (before it became WWE) event in Atlanta about 15-20 years ago. This was when the Rock was a HUGE headliner. I had one of those terrible disposable cameras. The Rock kept his arm around my nephew till I was able to take the pic. He still has that picture on his wall today.
That's very nice that he took a few mins to give her a "shout out"..OK I know I'm being a butthead but I really thought that he was going to actually visit her in the hospice. Like she would wake up and he would be behind the cut out of himself, which is why I opened this post in the first place. Now THAT you could say would be "one of the greatest things about being a celebrity".
Terrible actor, still love his crappy movies. Hard not to love this guy. I AM GREATLY ENTERTAINED BY THE ROCK. Russell Crowe too. Joaquin Phoenix not so much. I digress, *ahem* on topic YAY Dwayne Johnson.
